About Interface Deletion from a SAN Port Channel

After the members are forcefully added, regardless of the mode (Active and On) used, the ports at either end
are gracefully brought down, indicating that no frames are lost when the interface is going down.
To force the addition of a port to a SAN port channel, perform this task:

About Interface Deletion from a SAN Port Channel
When a physical interface is deleted from the SAN port channel, the channel membership is automatically
updated. If the deleted interface is the last operational interface, then the port channel status is changed to a
down state. Deleting an interface from a SAN port channel decreases the channel size and bandwidth of the
SAN port channel.
• If you use the default On mode to avoid inconsistent states across switches and to maintain consistency
• If you use the Active mode, then the port channel ports automatically recover from the deletion.
After the members are deleted, regardless of the mode (Active and On) used, the ports at either end are
gracefully brought down, indicating that no frames are lost when the interface is going down.

SAN Port Channel Protocol

The switch software provides robust error detection and synchronization capabilities. You can manually
configure channel groups, or they can be automatically created. In both cases, the channel groups have the
same capability and configurational parameters. Any change in configuration applied to the associated SAN
port channel interface is propagated to all members of the channel group.
